New regime has really caused a severe drop in quality. Prioritization is now focused on getting new members, rather than existing customer satisfaction. Quality has dropped, amenities removed, FAR too much unused/unpopular equipment crowding the cramped space, and facility cleanliness has taken a massive dive.
There are much better facilities available.
Shame.

So i’ve been a at this gym for 4 years. Originally the gym had carpet and was under different management, and it definitely got better with the renovation. But here are the cons, water constantly leaks from the ceiling, and that’s OK. But my main problem is the management. They do not care about members whatsoever. For example in my 4 years of going to the gym, lately the sauna has been out for 3 months straight. Never has it been like this. Other people expressed their frustration with this issue because of the 50$ price tag, but the management doesn’t care and brushes it off. You would think you get the amenities with the gym but they do not care. The gym itself isn’t the best quality but it gets the job done. The sauna was the reason why many people went to this gym, but they can’t even fix that. It’s frustrating because i know how quick old management would’ve fixed the issue and yet these people are still fiddling their fingers. I would say reconsider getting a membership here. Wait until new management or maybe wait until they start fixing Issues that will correlate the 50$ price tag. In my opinion this gyms value is 30$ membership right now. Please bring old management back wnc

We switched to WNC Barbell after going to Gold's for a while. We were specifically looking for a lifting coach for personal training, and were pleased to find several options here, each of whom had a wide breadth of specialized knowledge. It's a smaller space than Gold's, which I actually prefer, there's still plenty of equipment options-- and all the staff I've interacted with have been very friendly and helpful, including the massage therapists whose offices are on site. We really appreciate having a gym that's focused on weight lifting (and not just cross fit) that feels low-key and local.

It's a well equipped gym. Bar bells, workout machines treadmills, etc. Everything is clean and well maintained. Staff is very helpful. There are classes and shower facilities. A little tricky to get into and hard to make a left upon leaving.

If I could give this gym a negative stars review, I would. Their customer service is terrible.

I have been getting mail for Andy Reed for over a year. I have marked it “return to sender”, called this location multiple times, left multiple messages for Greg(?) to return my call with no response from anyone.

None of these actions have worked.

I am still getting these letters.

I stopped by today (3/13/21) to try to resolve the matter. After asking to speak with the person responsible for billing, a man said that was him. After explaining my situation, I was immediately met with aggression by the guy on duty. He told me I needed to speak to the owner. When I told him I already tried that, he responded “I don’t know what to tell you.”

As loathe as I am to say this, I can’t recommend supporting this local business. A corporate business (like Gold’s Gym or the YMCA) would have resolved the issue immediately.

****
Once again, I have called your business with no one answering the phone.

I have reached out many different times, through several different ways, and this issue is still not resolved!

It's very simple, stop sending me mail for someone that I don't know.

It's really that simple.

They just focused on the money.
My 18 months expired a month an half after nc closed all the gyms due the COVID19.
i tried to start the membership again and they said i have to pay the inscription fee again. They said because I waited too much on renewing it..
So how long its been since they allowed gyms to reopen .??
Oh they wantednme to be paying with the gym being closed?

WNC Barbell is a great local gym with something for most folks. It has a large free weight area, machines for those with limited mobility or those inclined to a safer method for weight bearing exercise and treadmills for indoor walking and running. There’s also spin machines and limited programmable exercise bikes. There’s a padded floor exercise area and an adjacent martial arts school as well as a classroom for senior exercise classes or other activities.
You can even access the equipment 24 - 7 for those working odd hour shifts or other schedule restrictions.
A qualified personal trainer and licensed exercise physiologist is available.
It accepts Silver Sneakers which is a plus for us!

WNC Barbell is a great facility for those who are looking to really concentrate and focus on their lifts without distraction. This is what you'd call an old school facility with no with frills and advertising.

The gym consists of a large number of weighted cable machines and a large number of free weights. All of which, are well maintained. Surprising to see, especially with a cable row machine that sits on the floor. You feel like you stepped back in time. There are a good handful of treadmills, bike machines and ellipticals.

I know the facility offers taekwondo and a silver sneakers program, as well as massage therapy (recommended).

I chose this facility because it is not a flashy franchise with all the added extras you don't need in a membership. It has all I need and it is also open 24 hours. Weights and cardio.

So get this I had this girlfriend right I bought her a membership but I stole her from Colorado I was like she might leave to the owner of the gym and he put on the agreement if she leaves then will void out her side of the contract which I was paying for so she left I waited about a month just to see if she would come back She never came back So he voided out that part of the contract.
